Digital BW, The Print

I've tried a Belkin wireless print server to connect my Epson 2100 
with minimal success.  Apart from driver issues causing lack of 
reliability and very slow performance, the fact that the server did 
not support bidirectional communications was a pain - StatusMonitor3 
wouldn't work.  You can mark the virtual port "unidirectional" in 
its properties, but that doesn't seem to help reliability in this 
case.

I think that many wireless print servers do not support 
bidirectional communications, so that may need checking.

Second, check that it support USB 2.0 (not just 1.1).
